USC coach Lindsay Gottlieb asked Iowa leaders how they handled Caitlin Clark's time in the spotlight as she supports Trojans star JuJu Watkins.
When Lindsay Gottlieb thinks back to the start, before USC was about to become the biggest thing in women’s college basketball — and maybe college basketball overall — her mind travels to a phone call three and a half years ago. She had just taken the job at USC, inheriting a once-elite program that hadn’t been relevant in a quarter century. Gottlieb and her family were in New York, visiting the Central Park Zoo, when her cell rang.
And I think in women’s basketball, we can say, ‘Yeah, but it’s OK to put it off. It’s OK to not accept that that’s where we go.’ There was so much racist and misogynistic language around it this year, and no one wants that. You want coverage and controversy is OK and you want debate. Morning talk shows, I’m great with all of that. But one of the downfalls certainly has been how divisive some of the language is. And that obviously coincides with certainly where the country is.
